move_uploaded_file is not fetching path in laravel - php

Question

Here is my controller
public function createAdmin()
{
$photo=$_FILES['bannerPic']['name'];
$tempname=$_FILES['bannerPic']['tmp_name'];
// echo $tempname." ".$photo;
move_uploaded_file($tempname, 'picture/banner/'.$photo);
$data=[
'sliderPic' => $photo,
];
dd($data);
// \App\Models\Banner::create($data);
// return view('Banner');
}
here is my route
Route::post('/BannerEdit', [App\Http\Controllers\BannerController::class,
'createAdmin']);
here is my blade form
<form action="{{ url('') }}/BannerEdit" method="post" class="col-12"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
#csrf
<div class="mb-3 col-12">
<label class="col-4 text-label form-label">Banner Photo*</label>
<input type="file" name="bannerPic" class="form-control input-rounded col-4 mb-3"
required>
</div>
<div class="mb-3 text-end">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Upload">
</div>
</form>
When i submit the data it Gives me an Error as
move_uploaded_file(picture/banner/favicon.jpg): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
But this Directory Exists
And i checked with full pathof localhost then it does not supports http path

Answer 1

You need to use getcwd() function like this:
$dirpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd()));
So your controller code will be:
public function createAdmin()
{
$photo=$_FILES['bannerPic']['name'];
$tempname=$_FILES['bannerPic']['tmp_name'];
// echo $tempname." ".$photo;
$dirpath = realpath(dirname(getcwd()));
move_uploaded_file($tempname, $dirpath.'/'.$photo);
$data=[
'sliderPic' => $photo,
];
dd($data);
// \App\Models\Banner::create($data);
// return view('Banner');
}
let me know if it works.. if not then we'll modify $dirpath variable
PS: this solution will work on server. are you working on server or in localhost?
EDIT:
Other solution is to use below function to get proper directory structure:
$dirpath = public_path('picture/banner/');
